SW5 165= 2hrs 45min In 8 years it has never taken me longer than 1hr 20 min to get to the cbc/tbf/ops center/training center, if they arrive on time!
The average would be 45-50 min.
I think we have been shafted again with this one. Obviously the Audi drivers were consulted on this but how about us???
It will of course be easier for EK to fill each car with multiple pick ups now that they have extra time! For us poor, sleep deprived and fatigued aeroplane
drivers- we get an extra 30-40 min to spend driving around town or standing at the CBC.
Just a thought- Is it illegal for us to start flight planning prior to sign on time?
I mean are we not actually involved in the exercising of our legal responsibilities as flight crew while performing such duties as signing on, briefing, flight planning, FCIs, ordering fuel etc.
It is quite possible that a lot of us will now be signing on at the CBC around two hours before departure, yet our Duty time sign on time is being recorded as one hour prior, and our duty limits calculated from then. (illegally IMOH)
